Wyndham councillor Intaj Khan has made a public apology after breaching the council’s Code of Conduct in relation to comments he made online and in the media.

In September, the council suspended Cr Khan from any position in which he represented the city – including council meetings – for a period of four weeks.

The decision also required Cr Khan to apologise for his comments, which included a Facebook post which included the line: “I strongly oppose Wyndham City Council’s delay to frustrate Labor Government’s attempt to bring a Wyndham Indian cultural precinct to celebrate Indian culture.”

On Wednesday night, Cr Khan returned to the council chamber, where he said he regretted if anyone had found his wording “inappropriate”.
